Research & Reports

This report presents findings from the Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey of the National Household Education Surveys Program of 2012 (NHES:2012). The Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey collected data on children enrolled in public or private school for kindergarten through 12th grade or homeschooled for these grades. The survey collected information about various aspects of parent involvement in education, such as help with homework, family activities, and parent involvement at school. For homeschooled students, the survey asks questions related to the student’s homeschooling experiences, the sources of the curriculum, and the reasons for homeschooling.

The FACE Handbook is provided by the School Community Network (SCN). This handbook provides educators, community leaders, and parents with a survey of the best research and practices related to engaging families and communities in students’ learning and academic, social, and emotional development.
